Some of the chord shapes I've tried to graph out, and the basic
chord shapes and barre chord shapes I didn't, but if you need any
of them graphed out, just e-mail me.
GBm
One day you're gonna have to face
AmGA deep dark truthful mirror
D
And it's gonna tell you things that I still
CD
Love you too much to say
GBm
The sky was just a purple bruise
AmG
The ground was iron
D
And you fell all around the town
CGC
Until you looked the same
[chorus]

The same eyes, the same lips

The same lie from your tongue trips

CAmCC/BAm D/F# G
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
GBm
Now the flagstone streets where the newspaper shouts
AmG
Ring to the boots of roustabouts
D
And you're never in any doubt
CD
There's something happening somewhere
GBm
You chase down the road till your fingers bleed
AmG
On a fiberglass tumbleweed
D
You can blow around the town
CGC
But it all shuts down the same
[chorus]
BmEmCCG (strum down)
So you bay for the boy in the tigerskin trunks
CCG
They set him up, set him up on a stool
BmEmCCG
He falls down, he falls down like a drunk
CCG
And you drink till you drool
CBmG
And it's his story you'll flatter
CBmEm (I think I play this as G again)
You'll stretch him out like a saint
CBmEm
But the canvas that he splattered

GBmA stripping puppet on a liquid stick
AmG
Gets into it pretty thick
DA butterfly drinks a turtle's tears
CD
But how do you know he really needs it
GBm
Cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkey's hand
AmG
Jesus wept, he felt abandoned
D
You're spellbound, baby, there's no doubting that
CGC
Did you ever see her stare like a Persian cat
[chorus]
